The mention as a feature represents an excellent way to get someone’s attention within the group conversation. It allows the user to mention one or more participants and provide the context of their mentioning within the message. The mentioned participants will receive a notification even in the group conversations they have currently muted.
To mention a participant, the user needs to enter the @ sign followed by the name of the desired participant. Immediately after entering the @ sign, the list of the participants who can be mentioned will be displayed above the input field.
Note: Only participants from the group chat conversation can be mentioned. The user has a few options for selecting participants:
- The first includes scrolling through the list using the up and down arrow keys and selecting the participant by pressing the Enter (Return) keys on their keyboard or using the mouse wheel and clicking on the participant.
- The second is to continue entering the participant’s name after the @ sign. In that case, the list above the input field will only display participants whose names match the entry.
The mentioned participant will be colored in blue within the conversation. Clicking on the mentioned participant within the conversation brings a pop-up menu with the following options:
- Call
- Chat with
- Contact information
